I'm bout 60 yrs and never needed one but time and curiosity changes perspective. Have a pre-64 and took off a .300 HH AI barrel and put on a .375 HH 21" take off with an NECG barrel band front for cheap. Now mounted with a Vari-III 1.5x5 and them lighweight Talley base/ring setup....sure is a nice "weighty" rifle. Have yet to blood the thing but trust soon I will....Brooks Range country allows for that. Have SAF 300's loaded.
